About Paul Dent

Paul Dent has 12 years of professional experience and practices in the United Kingdom. He concentrates on supporting individuals and couples who are facing stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, processing trauma and abuse, and working through intimacy-related concerns.

He works from the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and that existing strengths can be mobilized to address difficult challenges. Paul views the decision to seek greater fulfillment and wellbeing as an act of courage and provides steady support as people explore who they are and the narratives they bring into therapy.

Together with each client he establishes clear goals and objectives, and these are reviewed regularly so the person in therapy feels involved and in control of the process. He holds the BACP credential (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).
